IND vs NZ: Team India is on New Zealand tour these days. The first match of the T20 series to be held on this tour has been rained on. At the same time, the second match of the series will be played on 20 November, Sunday. In this tour, many senior players of the team have been rested and young players have been included in the team. Along with the regular captain in the team, opener KL Rahul has also been rested. In such a situation, Shubman Gill and Ishan Kishan can handle the responsibility of opening the team in the T20 series.
Can debut in T20I
Shubman Gill has played a total of 11 Tests and 12 ODIs for the Indian team so far. At the same time, he can debut in the second T20 match of New Zealand tour. By performing well in this tour, Gill can cement his place in Team India. Team’s regular opener KL Rahul has been seen out of form for a long time. In such a situation, this can be a golden opportunity for Gill.
